Thermal Spray Technology
Powder Testing and Characterization

Published:2013
Abstract
The raw materials used in thermal spray processes are a critical parameter in the finished coating because the variations in their size, morphology, chemistry, and phase composition can significantly impact coating properties. Therefore, it is important to test and characterize the raw materials. This article discusses various characterization methods for powders. Topics discussed include: methods for determining particle size and/or size distribution; powder and coating stoichiometry; particle chemistry; and phase analysis by x-ray diffraction. This article discusses the characterization of thermal spray powders which involves the determination of particle size and/or size distribution and phase analysis by x-ray diffraction....
